"Now in its tenth year, the 2008 Gen Art Styles competition presented the next crop of emerging fashion talent at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on Monday night, May 19, before a panel of judges that included fashion designers Victoria Bartlett and Marc Ecko among others, Sak's Fifth Avenue Fashion Director Michael Fink and Designer & Agent's founder Barbara Kramer.
A sixth award, the Tone Skincare Fashion Vision Award for Radiance, a $10,000 prize given to the designer best interpreting the Tone brand's theme, "Radiance," through sketches and text, was awarded to Jolibe. [Alison and Jillian were up for this award but sadly, neither won.]
Gen Art is well-known for launching the careers of some of fashion's best rising talents today, including Rodarte, Peter Som, Cloak, Loden Dager, Duckie Browne and Sari Gueron."
Miss McCarroll was there with his ubiquitous gigantic bag.
Alison Kelly. Um....we kinda hate the outfit.
She's wearing a cute necklace from her line of unisex jewelry.
Jillian Lewis. The shoes are fun and the dress is pretty cute, but we're more in love with the bottom half than we are the top.
Kara Saun. Oh honey, no. This isn't working for us at all.
UPDATE: "So ELLE.com enlisted him to head to this year’s Gen Art Styles show and take stock of the talent pool, then pen a personal essay on rising stars, reality checks, and how to blow the judges’ minds. The result is Jay McCarroll, uncensored and (mostly) unedited." Read Jay's take on the event here.
